Sona got the wrong conclusion that Shivansh loves, he's so out of sort cause Prarthana isn't around and I'm so happy about it.

I'm so glad Prarthana will be out of that Animal Farm, let them deal with Shivansh moody attitude, and let him deal with his BM manipulation and cheap lies. While his behen with the twisted wig talks on both sides of her mouth., cause she stupid. One minute she said time change bhia don't feel the same for Sona is all Prarthana. Then in the next breath she want them to be like they used to be, and Sona will get bhai if she keeps her focus on Shiv only not Prart. I see why she still single living off bhia

Finally she will go home and let the Randhawas and Jaitely’s dealt with his mood swings. Let her go home and chill but if only Seema will let her. But I think Smitha will rescue her if not Shivansh from Seema’s drama. if show is ending why bring Seema back?

If Prarthana asks for alimony it will only to make Shivansh divorce her or to make him hate her.
If Shivansh believes she is doing this for money which I am sure BM and Sonalika will use against her to make Shiv believe them.

Then Smitha will have to come and. Tell Shivansh Prarthana is not a gold digger. And Shivansh knows Prarthana is not after $ . She was not interested in his property or money or business and she is happy with small things.

He proposed her but did he really? He has no memories with her that he has been shown thinking about. Also maybe he was happy to propose his friend at that time. Because he knew her and she knew he him.

Maybe BM manipulated him to propose her.
I think there is more to the backstory then shown and they are not going to open it all up all at once like Smita past.

Unfortunately we will have bear Sonalika torture longer but remember it will always be PraShiv . The makers want to focus on Sonalika as the villian. They will try to manipulate with things their own way with their own twisted versions. Remember Sonalika showed Shivansh something that did not exist. That Prarthana and Rotlu together in a way which is not true.

With way story is moving I don’t think show is going to end in a month . Maybe in 3 -4 months

This is so typically boring. Why does Smita even need to come and rescue Prarthana?

They are just degrading Shivansh's character and intelligence by taking the same old ghisi pitti track.

I liked her too, until they made her psychotic. I wish she had a parallel lead and moved on peacefullly.

Typical Gul, destroyed her and also destroyed ML and FL in the process.

To Nagpal:

No one does . Prarthana can manage on her own as Seema is her mom. Only real purpose is for Smitha be given some screen space.

But why bring back Seema?

Donno man, only mata knows.. or maybe nagpal. Imagine if Seema becomes good out of the bottom of her heart.

I can't believe that they are doing this.... going to this extent to make Sonalika and her actions relevant...

it's not just emotional frustration, it's intellectual betrayal by the writers. You’ve invested in a story built on emotional complexity, psychological depth, and a character whose silence screamed louder than any dialogue. And now, in the eleventh hour, they’re bulldozing it all for... what, manufactured closure for a character that never deserved center stage to begin with?

"He proposed to her"

Let’s humor this for a second. Say he did propose. Then everything we've seen of him since—his inability to trust, to connect, to love Prarthana fully even when he’s breaking apart inside—is pure performative nonsense? Was his pain just… dramatic garnish?

His arc only made sense if he’d never risked his heart before. If he was untouched, unscarred by love—because love never happened for him until Prarthana. That’s what made their dynamic so achingly real.

Now what? They want us to believe that Prarthana isn't the storm that shook him, but merely the girl he happened to marry because Sonalika exited stage left?

No. Absolutely not.

"He meant it at that time"

This line should be banned from all emotionally driven stories. “I meant it at that time” is the laziest, most cowardly way to retain sympathy while invalidating everything the current story stands for.

If Shivansh meant it, then:

His coldness toward Prarthana wasn’t fear, it was just… indifference.

His eventual surrender to her wasn’t growth, it was settling.

And his breakdowns, his apologies, his vulnerability—they were all hollow.

What does that make Prarthana? A rebound with good timing?

Are we seriously expected to root for a love where one would have happily married someone else if his mother hadn’t re-entered his life? If Sonalika hadn’t been absent, Prarthana wouldn’t exist in his story? That’s not just narrative injustice—that’s emotional treachery.....

This is not my Shivansh....and I am refusing to accept it... Nagpal needs to retire asap.....

I think the CVs did a terrible job here...

I think what they meant to show was that what Shivansh probably thought was love... was probably only a superficial attraction/ good compatibility. We were probably meant to read in between the lines here, keeping in account BM's repeated claims that marrying Sonalika was the best move financially and otherwise for Shivansh. And Shivansh, being the emotionally manipulated guy that he is, would have thought, "Maybe I am in love. " Sonalika was (at least before)- of his class, temperament and acumen... and with a similar career-oriented mindset as cherry on top. It would have been comfortable for him to settle with the "Best" partner he thought she was- perhaps tired and scared of the intensity and onslaught of emotions he experienced due to his trauma. Sona screamed stable- and he took the gamble of Occam's razor.

But little did he know, love is not the calm surface of a lake.... but the waves of a tsunami- one that shakes the very foundation of your being. And that is what he experienced, with Prarthana: someone who is the cornerstone of instabilities in his life, yet also the very person who brought the much-craved peace he had sought for so long.

Sonalika was like the city air - indifferent but familiar, polluted.

Prarthana was like the air in the mountains - unfamiliar, yet pristine and so invigorating.

Would any man who breathed the pure air of the mountains ever go back to breathing the polluted stink of the city?
